This is how it could look
Adorable hiding scene: small young octopus attempting to use camouflage ability to disguise itself as piece of coral. Positioned among coral formations, doing impressive (though slightly imperfect) job of matching coral texture and colour — bumpy and red-orange. Attempt given away by: very round eyes (still clearly visible as eyes even when rest blends in); one arm accidentally hanging too far down (not very coral-like); placed at slightly too conspicuous position. Three small fish debating whether it is coral or not — two doubtful, one absolutely convinced. Octopus expression: absolutely concentrated, very proud.
